As of today, we are 12 days away from official legal foreclosure. I am a crying wreck of a wife and mother. My faith is being held onto by a thread. I feel as if I've been made a fool of by trusting God would care for a family this large in today's world. Everyone told us we were crazy and that something like this would happen. But I look at my beautiful babies and think of how wonderful they all are and what a blessing they have been and I can't imagine it any other way.
I don't know who I am if I don't have my home about me to care for my family. Our future is so uncertain and heaven is so quiet. I can't function today and could really use any prayers you could offer for me and my family.
Thank you. |

Oh Maddie,
We were almost there just two months ago.  Long story but we were being evicted because our landlord "changed his mind" and wanted to sell the house we were living in and had only lived in for four months. He arrived, told us literally to get our stuff and leave. He harassed us and was prepared to take us to court, we couldn't afford that. So we decided to leave, we moved in a hurry, I packed us up at 4 weeks post partum, while trying to recover from a difficult birth. It was all so bad, but God was really there, dh and I clung together and were strong for our dc. God is good.
Your post sounds all to familiar. One moment I was just a wreck, "why? why? Why?" and feeling so afraid someone was going to come along and try to send us out on the streets. Wondering where would home be, such a fundamental need. Then having to try to stablise my feelings, I would look at one of my children and just focus on how much I loved them and what I still had.
We were always struggling with money(we never made enough), until we started listening to Dave Ramsey and figured out how to start making our money work for us. We realised that there could be a way out of this for us. Maybe that wouldn't be very helpful for you though. If I can help in any way, I would love to.
Please know I am praying for you and your dear ones.

Dear Maddie, I am SO, SO sorry to hear this, my heart breaks for you. I will be praying that this will not happen, that something will come up at the last moment as others have mentioned. Lots of love, Anne

Praying hard for you- God *does* have a plan. It's so hard to see at times. He has not forgotten you.

Dear Maddie,
Our Rosary tonight will be prayed for you and your precious family. I am also lighting a candle before my beloved icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
We will continue to hold you and your loved ones in prayer as you bear this very heavy cross.

Praying for you and your dear family.
Suffering, pain, sorrow, humiliation, feelings of loneliness, are nothing but the kiss of Jesus, a sign that you have come so close that He can kiss you.
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

Dearest Maddie, it must be really difficult to hold on to your faith right now. Know that we are lifting you up in prayer. God will not let you down.

Maddie,
We're holding your family up in prayer here. I know heaven is roaring in a whispered voice right now, but I know they are working!
Just pull your little family in close, love them, and keep saying "I trust you, dear Jesus."
Begging for heaven to intercede and shower your family with mercy and some tangible help!!!!!
"Sweet and tender Mother of Jesus, you packed up your family and moved them in haste in the Flight to Egypt. You know the anguish and worry Maddie and her family face. Intercede for them now and help them in their passage. Allow them the consolation of knowing that you are guiding them with your loving hand always. Draw them near. Amen"
